    Has anyone ever seen "Santa Clarita Diet"?
    After getting over the sad shock of a now flat chested Drew Barrymore, it's fairly entertaining, and silly funny often.

    Heard it was a good show, but I have not seen any episodes.

    It's actually a fine line there. Under current rules of evidence, prior bad acts can't be used as evidence that a defendant engaged in that particular crime for which he or she is being tried.

    It can be used to show possible or probable motive, intent, planning, knowledge, lack of accident. In other words, it can be used as evidence of circumstances that more than likely surround the alleged crime.

    But once a jury hears all these prior bad acts, it's hard to unhear that testimony and make the fine distinction in the evidence rules. So it can be highly prejudicial.

    Usually, the judge and lawyers have a chance to craft judges instructions to the jury before deliberations to make this fine point clear, but it is still hard.

    BTW, I think Cosby is guilty as sin...there are too many similarities in the accusations. But you never know what an appeals court will decide, especially with the kind of lawyers Cosby can afford.

    Cosby will probably also be tried in many other jurisdictions where the crimes took place. This is really just the beginning.

    Anybody else check out Giancarlo Stanton on Westworld last episode?
    Guy is awesome, even in a 5 minute part.
    Not enough Thandie/ Maeve for me so far.

    Get a creditkarma account and start playing the credit card interest game.
    Get a card with 6 to 12 months no APR and transfer as much debt to it.
    Try to pay it off in that time period obviously.
    They offer you loans you are prequalified for at low APR, 10k at like 6% so you can consolidate debt on them.

    Only have one card with a balance on it, I plan on paying off the card in four months with bigger sized payments and being done with it. After that, then I'll focus on my car, putting money in my savings every paycheck and start saving money through roth ira, 401k, and other stuff I will look into.

    Take a 10% off the top of every paycheck you make and put it into one of those savings accounts.
    If you know you will end up owing taxes at the end of the year then give that money to charity instead and take that deduction.

    You can give to battlechurch.org.

    Do you mean MLB.TV? Yes. There's some good ones for less than 5 bucks /mo.

    MLB Network is the cable channel with studio shows and live games that are usually borrowed from RSNs

    Right. Yes that's what I meant. So I can use the VPN here in LA and it'll come through.... I have some figuring to do for other channels and a DVR but yeah, Spectrum for $240/mo can go FUCK itself!

    I have mlb.tv, HBONow, and Hulu Plus. With streaming services you don’t need a DVR, since everything is available all the time. 2 years ago I got NFL Game Pass for $200/year and was able to watch all games live using the location blocker/VPN (if you are in another country you get live NFL games). On top of that I have an antenna to get local stations, but I only use that for local news once in a blue moon, or NFL games if I don’t want league pass.
